Ever since the release of VSS 6.0 and continuing with VSS 2005, I have noticed that the column widths in the explorer window are not loading from the ss.ini file.
I see that they are being saved:
; ss.ini
;
; This file contains all the variables that "customize" SourceSafe to your
; particular needs. The ss.ini variables are documented in the SourceSafe
; User's Manual. Only a few of them are placed in this file by default.
; C programmers should remove the semicolon from the following line, to
; un-comment it. Other programmers REPLACE the line with different masks.
; Relevant_Masks = *.c, *.h, *., *.asm
; The following line prevents you from being asked for a checkout comment.
Checkout_Comment = -
; The following lines force SourceSafe not to execute certain file types.
; We'll define a list of extension following the Outlook banned files model
... <SECTION REMOVED> ...
Columns (UI) = 263,85,135,100
... <SECTION REMOVED> ...
They do not appear to be read back by VSS when it opens, though and these settings are lost every time I exit the VSS explorer.
Any chance that this matters enough to fix? I've only seen a couple other people report it, but it's an annoying bug for people who still use the VSS explorer as their VSS client.
Thanks.
